Default power commander

I just got my 08 Road Glide, put Rienhart 2-into-1 exhaust, my air filter will be in Thursday as well as my first service will be done on Thursday. How much more power can I get by having my bike remaped with the power commander. (note: this is my first harley)

Any suggestions would be great, I'm still learning about this awesome bike. "FLTR Rules"

Call Jamie at Fuel Moto. He can probably tell you better than anyone what you can expect to see with the PCIII. I wouldn't expect you'd see a significant increase just with the PCIII and fuel filter/exhaust upgrade. My bike seemed to run with a little more pep than stock, but seems to run just as well with the stage 1 download than it did with the PCIII.

My 07 went from 65hp to 74hp with supertrapp slipons, K&N and pc III. Had it dynoed by a dynojet certified dyno facility. Jamie from FuelMotto had it near perfect. Wasted money for dyno time.

Just spoke with one of our "inside" NASCAR buddies at Dyno Jet

The first if the year is the earliest we will see a PCII for an 08

You've completed step two of a thre step stage 1 upgrade. I would look into a fuel management system to make it all work well. V&H, PCIII, Thundermax, Fuel Moto etc. You'll have to see what those on the board like. I'm going with V&H myself.

Youre only option and a better one in my opinion is to have the dealer install the Sert "screaming eagle race tuner" and dyno tune it to run perfect. You can not ride that bike with the exhaust change and free flowing aiir cleaner unless it gets remapped or you will burn up the motor. PCIII isn't even close to being available for a 08 and given dynojets lack luster responce to updating the old model, I doubt they have one before 09.
